Hi,

you do need msys or cygwin for "cabal install"ing network
msys at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/msys-core/msys-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download
You will then have to follow the instructions at
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS. Please make sure that it uses ghc's mingw

thanks
Hemanth K
